A 44-year-old pregnant wife, Adebimpe Anike Abibah, has reportedly dumped her husband, Alhaji Adebimpe Shamsideen and eloped with her lover and their only daughter to the United States of America.
According to reports, Abibah changed her identity and obtained travel documents with which traveled abroad with their daughter outside the knowledge of her husband.
She had allegedly packed all her properties when her husband was not at home at their Adebimpe Avenue home, Council bus stop, Idimu and left.
According to Shamsideen, his wife later informed him that she had quit the marriage and had joined her lover in U.S, adding that she never loved him in the first place despite the fact they lived together for several years as husband and wife.
He said she informed him that he should forget the pregnancy and their daughter as she has given it to her lover who has equally accepted to foster both the baby and pregnancy.
Shamsideen recalled that when he married Abibah in 2008 according to native law and customs and performed their Muslim rites the same year; he did not know she had another man outside her matrimonial home.
He said she got pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl named Nimotalai Adunni in August 2013 after she registered and attended ante-natal care at Igando General Hospital.
Shamsideen further stated that with the latest development, he was at a loss over the paternity of the baby and pregnancy.
In a petition to the Nigerian Immigration Service and American Embassy in Nigeria, dated 13 October, 2015, titled ‘A Case of Eloping, Abduction and Child Trafficking’ seeking for their intervention to bring back his daughter from the United States, Shamsideen wrote:
She went and obtained International Passport without my consent, moved out of my house and secretly obtained travel documents and travelled to U.S. with my daughter.
Shamsideen said that when he could not locate her whereabouts after she left his home, he had to travel to her home town and residence at 17, Ilesanmi Alonge Compund, Iloro quarters, Igbara Oke in Ondo State where her relations informed him that she had traveled with changed identity out of the country.
According to him, in May 2015, Abibah sent a text message informing him that she had eloped with her lover and was due to deliver by December, adding that in the same text message, she informed him that her lover has accepted to adopt his daughter and unborn child when delivered.
She deceived me, Immigration Service and US Embassy in Nigeria to achieve her devilish mission,” he said.
